Former Sen. Carl Levin dies at 87

Former Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) has died at the age of 87.

The Levin Center at Wayne State University announced the late senator’s death Thursday evening, calling him "a dearly beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle, and life-long public servant.”

“For those who were lucky enough to be a part of his early work in Detroit, his decades in the Senate, and beyond, he was an inspirational leader and so much more,” the statement said.

“He will be remembered for his relentless intellect and work ethic, his humility, his humor, and his strength of character,” it added.

Levin, the longest-serving senator in Michigan history, retired in 2015 after 36 years in the chamber.

You have to respect the fact that he’s one of the few recent Michigan Democrat senators that haven’t stolen an election from John James.

Every time a demonrat dies a bat in hell gets its wings.

All I can say here is that I do not in any way, shape, or form mourn his death.

And that is the best I can say.

His nephew is still in Congress, and Carl is probably still voting himself ...

I won’t speak ill of him. May Jesus comfort his family. I would say his positive attributes as described in this article are way overblown, to put it generously.

He was known for wearing his eyeglasses at the end of his nose, like he was looking down at you.

That look became a political issue when Charlie Gibson did the same thing when interviewing VP candidate Sarah Palin.
